9 September 2008

The kids are back in school and life is back to the same old routine.Th seasons are changing and its time to break out last years duds and see what is wanting and what still fits.In an old fashioned world you may not be able to wear white after Labour Day but you can eat white after Labour Day. You would find this old fashioned girl eating potatoes every day of the week if she could.

The third Wednesday of every month has been designated Potato Ho-Down Wednesday....this does not mean that I am limited to eating potatoes only on Wednesdays by any means!!!!Two of our talented fellow potato Ho's Cathy of Noble Pig and Krysta over at Evil Chef Mom are our illustrious founders. Every Wednesday we will all be posting those scalloped potatoes, mashed potatoes, fries, curries, poutine......if potato is in the name I will be definitely be there!!! This months Ho Down is being hosted by Diane of Asthma Girl Cooks on September 17th. So if you've made a potato recipe between August 21 and now or still want Being the Ho that I am and since there is no AA group for potato Ho's I am submitting this cheesy, garlicky potato side. My name is Bellini Valium and I am a Potato Ho..............

Place the potatoes and garlic cloves in a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until potatoes are fork tender. Drain the potatoes.

Mash both the potatoes and garlic together. While still warm mix in butter, sour cream, 35% cream, cheese, bacon and green onions. Season with salt and pepper.

This dish can be prepared in advance. Spread potatoes into a baking dish and refrigerate until needed. Cover and reheat in a 325 degree F. oven for 20 to 25 minutes.

See? I missed being a potato Ho again!! I have this potato salad just waiting to post but I want to be a Potato Ho too! That Mash looks like something I would just scoop up with my hands and stuff into my mouth!!

I hate fashion and its "rules", but I love that they don't apply to our little food corner of the blog-o-sphere. Great recipe, I have never made mashed potatoes with garlic but it must taste delicious!

i could eat potatoes every day, too. white cheddar with garlic and sour cream sounds amazing. i love the tang that sour cream or buttermilk adds to mashed potatoes.==============================mikerandells

From one Ho to another, I sure do appreciate your straight forward attitude here! Take some lovely potatoes, add white cheddar as a twist, and laugh in the face of danger / Don't Wear White After Labor Day Police. Yes!

My blog More Than Burnt Toast has been my passion for almost 9 years and has evolved with me over time as I have gained confidence in the kitchen. Follow my travels through Italy and Greece one recipe at a time, upcoming cooking classes at local Okanagan wineries and restaurants, as well as daily experimentation in my own kitchen. Every day we should be excited about what we are eating even if it just means making use of a wonderful find at our local farmers market. I look forward to getting to know you.
